Brief Summary:
A retrospective examination was performed on patients who had received treatment with dental implants supporting a prosthesis with a cantilever extension for at least 10 years of function
Detailed Description:
The successful use of osseointegrated dental implants in replacing missing teeth has been adequately documented with multiple studies reporting long-term success exceeding 10 years of function However there is still insufficient evidence in cases where availability of adequate bone precludes ideal placement of implants Examples of cases like these include the posterior maxilla when pneumatization of the maxillary sinus does not allow for placement of implants or areas of thin bone that would require extensive guided bone regeneration GBR techniques and increase patient morbidity In such cases the use of fixed dental prostheses FDPCs with cantilever extension has been suggested in lieu of sinus lift techniques or GBR procedures However few studies have actually addressed the long-term success of such FDPCs both from a surgical and a prosthetic standpoint especially in posterior areas of the mandible and maxilla where loading forces are expected to be higher
Two studies addressed this issue in the early 2000s with successful outcomes reported for an observation period of 5 years Others reported similar outcomes after a mean observation period of 56 years The 5th Consensus Conference of the European Association of Osseointegration EAO suggested that such treatment can be recommended to patients albeit with little available evidence and limited follow-up of cases Recent studies have delved further into this issue offering longer follow-up data of more than 10 years of function They included both 2 unit FDPs anchored on one implant and 3 unit FDPs anchored on two implants with cantilever extensions They concluded that this treatment modality is a reliable option with long-term stability and few complications mainly prosthetic
The aim of this retrospective study is to offer further data on the long-term success and complications when at least two dental implants are used to support a FDPC in the posterior areas of both jaws after at least 10 years of function
